The Cleveland Browns reportedly have strong interest in former Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, according to Eagles reporter Howard Eskin. The Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins and Browns are all reportedly very interested in Kelly as their next head coach, according to Brandon Lee Gowton of SB Nation.
The Browns are reportedly expected to fire head coach Mike Pettine following their regular season finale Sunday, and general manager Ray Farmer is likely on his way out the door as well. The Eagles fired Kelly shockingly earlier this week, and the coveted head coach will likely not be limited on head coaching opportunities.
While the Tennessee Titans seem like the logical landing spot with quarterback Marcus Mariota, the Browns could also provide a nice fit with a Kelly. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam likely feels like its time for a significant change in Cleveland, and Kelly could provide a long-awaited spark in the Browns organization.
There are no guarantees that the Browns could entice Kelly to become their future head coach, and questions clearly still remain around quarterback Johnny Manziel. The Browns have not made the postseason since 2002, and it will be interesting to see what they do this offseason, as they are clearly looking to make a ton of changes.
